Med Surg Travel Nurse Jobs in Tennessee

Tennessee's 2024 Joint Annual Report provides direct Med-Surg operating measures for one Chattanooga hospital. The state summary lists 97 beds staffed for Med-Surg at Erlanger East Hospital and 25,211 days of Med-Surg inpatient care during the reporting year. Staffed beds describe beds available for inpatient use at year end, while inpatient days count days of care across the year, so the figures should not be treated as the same measure. They are facility-level self-reported data, not statewide staffing standards or current contract volume. For travelers, the pair makes practical questions more specific: ask how the staffed beds are divided among general Med Surg, monitored care, and any higher-acuity spaces; then compare admissions, discharge pace, telemetry responsibility, float routes, hospitalist coverage, and overnight support. Confirm the unit named in the offer rather than relying on the hospital total.
